We heartily invite you to the third edition of our FamilyFest. Together with you – from big to small – we want to experience a whole weekend of dance. It will be turbulent and chaotic on the stage: in his premiere, dancer and choreographer Arthur Schopa creates a real TOHUWABOHU with his two sons. Meanwhile, Sonia Mota and Jörg Ritzenhoff set off into the paper jungle – where everything is made of paper and rustles, crackles and cracks.
Before and after the performances, you are warmly invited to get active yourself in our Paper Worlds and Knubbelsuppe workshops for children and accompanying adults.
Linger with us over waffles and warm punch – and sing Christmas carols with gestures in the workshop with “Singfinger – gestures with fun for ALL!”

Do we really only have one age? Do each of our body parts really feel the same age or are there differences? What experiences have been inscribed in our bodies and shape our movements? How do we deal with these different perceptions in our own bodies? The participants in the Performacelab explore these questions in a creative, playful and humorous way.

Performance by Malin Kemper, Laura Schönlau and Marguerite Windblut
Inspired and filled with quotes from Unertrunken by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
from 14 years
What could be possible solutions for us humans to deal with problems, questions and fears about the future? What sources of strength are there and what strategies can we use to survive and live well in the world of tomorrow? Two artists who find it difficult to afford everyday life with their art meet in a fictitious dialog in the rehearsal room, tell each other about their fears and literally dive down with us to find answers to all these questions.

Dance of discourses on identity, power, origin and future.
“Daring and fabulously outrageous” is how the Bonner General Anzeiger describes Boys Confused Part 1 and continues as follows:”…in their new production, Tanzwerke Vanek Preuß play…with the ambiguity of postmodern discourses on cultural identity and power, political correctness, tolerance and cancel culture. It is a witty show parody of dance movement, music and spoken mono/dialogue. A performative collage from the world of contradictory ideological narratives and presumed interpretative sovereignty.” (translation to English by ehrenfeldstudios). The evening is dedicated to sustainability, among other things, and generates both frown lines and laughter.

Planning security, time pressure, lack of time… We all have schedueles that are tightly packed. In times of control and productivity, the LET GO! makes room for uncertainty, searching, letting go, failure and, of course, lots of dancing!
All people aged 15 to 99, who want to explore, discover and spontaneously create their own movement are welcome.
Barrier-free access. Participation with walker or wheelchair possible. Accompanying persons receive free admission.
DATE
Due to a clash of dates with the demonstration of the alliance “Köln stellt sich quer” against the extreme right, the workshop has been postponed from January 25 to February 8.
Sat, 08.02.2025 | 11 am – 3 pm
REGISTRATION
Participation fee: 65 € – 150 € (sliding scale)
